BD Players that played BD-R, -RE? - Blu-ray Forum

BDauthor · 10-24-2006, 05:21 PM

I'm looking for a player that plays BD-R, -RE. I have the Sammy and it only works intermittently. I tried the new firmware and now it doesn't play BD-R, -RE at all.

Are there any players out there that work with burned media?
Does anyone know how to get the Sammy to work with burned discs?
Thanks!

I read that the Sam was supposed to play them.

I have been interested in this too and wonder if some of the authoring tools are not making compliant images.

It seems that the Panasonic will play these discs.

Perhaps it would be useful to post some references in this thread to what it takes to author the discs properly etc.

You can get the PS3. It can play a BD-R according to the specs. Which format (BDAV/BDMV/BDJ) I am not sure.

Panasonic plays BD-R, BD-RE and even BDMV folder on a DVD-R. All discs must have BDMV folder and use UDF2.5 instead of UDF1.2 which is used for regular DVD-R.

The manual for Panasonic (http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPER...BD10-MULTI.PDF) says "Discs that cannot be played: BD-R, BD-RE v1/v2"

What does it mean? Does it really play BD-R and BD-RE at all?

The drive in the Panasonic is a BD-R drive just like the one that is sold to burn BDs.

If the player does not play a disc it is due to formatting only (ie it can read the discs no problem).

That said I have had difficulty finding an authoring program that is compatible.

The Ulead VideoStudio 10+ that had BD support and then shortly after the BD support was pulled appears to create BD images that the Panasonic will not play.

If I do get hold of something that can author discs that the Pan will play I will be sure to mention it in the software forum

Somebody in other thread had success playing a regular DVD that has AVCHD content on Panasonic Blu-Ray.

I have created an AVCHD content on a regular DVD as well, and it plays on my computer (regular DVD driver) fine, using the AVCHD player provided by Sony's HDR-SR1 (I created the DVD using the software provided by HDR-SR1 as well).

That said, if the Panasonic plays regular DVD that has HD content, I'm sure it'll play real BD disc that has HD content.

Philips BDP9000 claims it plays BD-R and BD-RE on its user guide. I'm just wondering if it also plays regular DVD that has AVCHD content in it. It'd be great if someone can verify this.

Thanks!
